Geraldines 0 Janesboro 1

Janesboro passed a crucial test in their attempts of wrestling the Premier League from Pike Rovers when they beat fellow challengers Geraldines T Rathuard on Sunday morning.

Once again Conor Lynch was the ‘Boro hero scoring the only goal of the game with seven minutes on the clock.

Lynch, who was the top scorer in the Premier League 15 years ago, continues to show that once a top player has a knack of scoring it rarely leaves them. Other clubs could learn from Janesboro in keeping this rare breed of player wrapped in cotton wool to prolong their career as long as possible.

Geraldines battled gamely and looked like holding out for a point but with seven minutes remaining Shane Clarke and Paul Danagher clashed and the ball ran kindly for Lynch to run through to slot the ball home.

In reality the result means the title race is down to three sides but Geraldines and Ballynanty will play a huge part in the destination of the trophy.
